Philips MS3250C 32" SHUTS DOWN

When first turning on tv, screen will have wavy line approx 2-3 inches down each side and than will shut off, led still on on front panel. Turn on off several times and will finally work fine. monitored B+ and it goes from 128 to 140Vdc when it shut down. Does this sound like a regulator proble? Do you have a good part #, ic # and/or location. Thanks

Use an ESR meter for in-circuit capacitor check....notorious
are the 47mf / 25v and 50v electrolytics in power circuits.....
regulator, horizontal et al ......start-up problems = turning on
after several tries......charge the cap enough to run.........T.

Line, faults & possible causes to LCD screen are given with illustrations. You can get an idea about the fault to an extent.

Can be 1 of 2 things. 1st the red tube just needs the voltage to it turned down. In the front of TV (you have to remove the lower front half of TV to access it) is a plastic square with 6 knobs. The from left to right top knobs control focus for blue,green red. The bottom knobs control voltage to each tube in same order (so lower right knob for red) turn SLOWLY to left to reduce voltage until excessive red and lines go away. If you over turn left or right set will turn off. If that does not fix it or if lines reappear then option 2 is that red picture tube is failing outright and needs replacement.

Similar problem with an eleven and a half month old LT-40148. Approx. 1 inch vertical banding line on left side of screen on all inputs. After about two weeks, same problem on the right side of the screen.

Fortunately this occurred two weeks prior to the one year warranty expiring.

Called Mits customer service and they referred me to an authorized service center who I happened to have dealt with before.

They picked up the set. The front panel (LCD screen ) had to be replaced. Set was gone for two weeks as parts were not in stock. There was no charge. I hope this screen last more than a year.

Try moving a medium powered magnet (not one for picking up heavy objects and not a refrigerator holding one) over the distorted area. If that doesn't work, try a more powerful one. This worked for my Toshiba LCD. Good luck!

I wish I could post a solution, but I don't have one. I too have a Magnavox. About 6 months ago, once every 2 weeks or so, the screen would just go black- all but an inch or two on either side. Now, it seems like it's a weekly thing, sometimes every hour or two. As of tonight, it has happened twice in a matter of thirty minutes. It usually repairs itself if I turn it on and then off again but that's just not working anymore. If anyone has a solution, let me know.
